Òpera de Butxaca i Nova Creació celebrates with the 2019/20 season its 25 years on the cultural scene. A unique entity in the country dedicated to the production and promotion of contemporary opera, with both national and international alliances and complicities.

We will celebrate these 25 years with enthusiasm, marked by the promotion of four new proposals coming from our quarry of young creators. Four new productions that we promote with the complicity of the main institutions of the country: Gran Teatre del Liceu, Teatro Real, Teatre Lliure, Teatro Español, Festival Castell de Peralada, Teatre Nacional de Catalunya, Sala Beckett and EscenariBrossa.

These four releases that make us accomplices of the new contemporary audience and cultural ambassadors of our talent in the world.

We hope you will join us and enjoy yourselves!
